Because the one thing I hate more than anything else is having to decide whether to play a new game, instead of the latest version of the game franchises that I've already committed to.
Mind you, there's still a bit too much choice in the market. Assassin's Creed is way too much like Prince of Persia for my tastes. Couldn't they combine them in some way so that I don't have to make any choice at all? And just call it Jumpy Swingy Stabby so that I know what I'm getting?
Likewise with having to decide between Tom Clancy versus Metal Gear - why not just make Sneaky Snappy Shooty?
Come on, games industry, get with the program. There's no need for all this confusing, infuriating choice and originality! Just give us more of what we already like, every year, forever. Where's my Drive Pimp Murder Drive 2010?
